The France Home Jersey 2002 features the iconic royal blue base with red and white accents, symbolizing the national identity of Les Bleus. Worn by No. 10 Zinedine Zidane, the shirt represents elegance, creativity, and leadership. Its clean early-2000s design reflects France’s status as the reigning world and European champions at the time.
History

As the team’s playmaker and captain figure, Zidane carried the expectations of a nation following their historic triumphs in 1998 and Euro 2000.
